Chapter 3 The Guide
I spent eight months on Momong Island.
During this period, Maud did not use the Hunter's Note.
Although there are occasional pirates who come to Mengmeng Island, these pirates are too weak to be worth wasting pages.
After all, it is Donghai with an average reward of around 3 million Bailey.
For the pirates here, weak is really weak, and strong is really strong.
And looking at the entire East China Sea, the target worth hunting is the Evil Dragon Pirates.
As a pirate group composed purely of murlocs, there are many good prey with good physique.
Although the overall bounty is not high, there is still some hard power.
Not to mention Aaron, the captain of the pirate group, just a few cadres under his command could easily kill a brigadier general in the East China Sea branch.
This level of strength, coupled with the murloc's natural physical advantage...
Since Maud is in the East China Sea, there is no reason to let the Dragon Pirates go.
today.
The wind is sunny and the weather is very suitable for sailing.
The crowd came to the beach, where a small sailboat ran aground.
This is the boat that Maud and the others were on eight months ago.
As early as yesterday, Sol had repaired the boat by himself.
A small boat like this is not a problem for sailing, but at most it can only dangle in the East China Sea.
Maud and Lafayette work together to put supplies such as freshwater food onto the boat.
Next, just push the boat out and sail away from Mengmeng Island.
After placing the supplies, Lafayette stayed directly on the boat, while Maud jumped off the boat.
As soon as he stepped on the beach, Maud saw Thor throw an old flintlock pistol.
Maud raised his hand to catch the flintlock pistol thrown by Thor.
This flintlock pistol was the only good old gun that Thor left behind, and the rest of the guns were all destroyed by Garp's hands.
Perhaps it was because of the old opinion, or because the single-shot flintlock was more powerful, so Thor was only fond of single-shot flintlocks.
Therefore, this old flintlock pistol is unsurprisingly also a single-shot.
Putting aside the issue of reloading ammunition, in terms of power, it is indeed much stronger than a repeating flintlock gun.
"I took it."
Without any pretentious words, Maud naturally put away the precious flintlock pistol.
Sol nodded silently.
Sunny looked at Maud with dismay.
Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, when this day came, I had an inexplicable thought of not wanting Maud to leave.
Jabba was smoking a cigarette with a calm expression, while Jaya squinted and smiled.
The words before parting, before coming to this beach, have already been said.
Maud looked at Jaya and asked with a smile, "Sister Ya, don't you think about it again?"
Jaya shook his head and said calmly: "I don't like pirates, and I don't want to be a pirate."
"All right."
Maud couldn't hide his regret.
He attaches great importance to Jaya's food supplements, but Jaya has a bad impression of pirates.
At this time, he really wanted to pull out the pirates who came to Mengmeng Island for nothing and whip their bodies hundreds of times.
If it weren't for them, how could Jaya, who grew up on Mengmeng Island, hate pirates so much?
Thinking of this, Maud was still a little unwilling.
In order to get Jayara on the boat, he didn't care so much.
"Sister Ya, there are all kinds of exotic ingredients in the great waterway. For example, there is an island called Little Garden. There are all kinds of large beasts and dinosaurs on that island. Are you not interested at all?"
"..."
Jaya opened her eyes slightly, a little hesitant.
Her knowledge of the outside world is limited to the frescoes on the site, the few books in the settlement, and the narrations from Jabba.
She had heard Jabba talk about dinosaurs, which seemed to be a super ancient creature.
I don't know what the flesh of that creature is, and how to cook it?
Jaya was touched.
Jabba exhaled a puff of white smoke and suddenly said, "It's okay to go outside.
"
He will not interfere with Jaya's decision, but personally, he also hopes that Jaya can go to the outside world to have a look instead of staying on Mommon Island for a lifetime.
"Jabba..."
Jaya was still hesitant.
Jabba laughed: "The decision is in your own hands, and no one can interfere."
Jaya was silent.
Maud saw that there was a drama, and his heart was slightly overjoyed, but he did not pursue it too closely, but let Jaya consider it.
After dozens of seconds, Jaya still shook his head.
Although she really wanted to see the outside world, she still resisted being a pirate.
Seeing that Jaya still refused, Maud was very disappointed.
However, Jaya hesitated for so long, and it was enough to see that she still wanted to go to sea.
After all, is it because of the identity of a pirate...
"Sister Ya, we plan to sail in the East China Sea for a while."
"Um?"
Jaya looked at Maud suspiciously.
Maud said seriously: "Then, we will come to Mengmeng Island again next month. At that time, if you change your mind..."
Jaya could clearly feel Maud's obsession with himself, so he nodded lightly.
Maud smiled slightly when he saw this, at least there was some possibility.
Afterwards, Maud said goodbye to Sol and the others, and then boarded the boat with Bailey.
At Maud's signal, Lafayette lowered the sails.
The wind raised the sails and took the boat slowly away from the shallow water.
Watching the boat go away, Sunny's eyes were sparkling and she waved goodbye.
Maud looked at Sunny who was waving vigorously and shouted: "Sunny, intelligence is also a kind of strength. If you go to the Revolutionary Army, don't slack off."
"Um!"
"Sol, smoke less cigarettes and try to live a few more years!"
"Stinky boy..."
The boat gradually moved away.
In the end, it turned into a small black spot in Sol's eyes.
Sol raised his head slightly, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said leisurely, "I'm waiting."
.........
On the sea, the boat moved slowly.
Bailey hid in the cabin.
The separation from Sunny made him a little listless.
Maud stood at the bow, looking out at the endless sea ahead.
He was thinking of Sunny too.
If Sunny can grow up in the revolutionary army, then he will borrow the intelligence power that Sunny possesses in the future.
In return, he also lends his powers to Sunny to use.
This is what they agreed to before they parted.
Lafayette came to Maud and suddenly said, "Jaya is not suitable for boarding."
Maud was quite surprised when he heard this and asked, "How do you say it?"
"Too upright."
Lafayette gave reasons.
Maud was silent, then nodded after a moment.
If it wasn't too upright, Jaya would have already boarded the boat.
Lafayette said on the matter: "Besides, her strength and the so-called dietary supplements alone are indeed worth your efforts to win over."
Maud glanced at Lafayette, not wanting to tangle on the topic of Jaya. Anyway, he will go to Mengmeng Island again in a month, and he will find out by then.
Compared to this...
"Lafayette, follow me, what does it mean to you?"
"Hoho..."
Lafayette narrowed his eyes and pointed his index finger upwards.
"Go to the top and enjoy the extraordinary views."
"You really... have confidence in me."
"Hohoho."
Lafayette smiled softly.
If that day comes.
Then, he will be the guide of the highest places!
For this reason, it was nothing to accompany Maud on Montmont Island for eight months.
This is what Lafayette has in mind.
............
ten days later.
The boat came to the northwest of the East China Sea.
This is the sea area where the Dragon Pirates' stronghold is located.
And Maud's target is naturally the Evil Dragon Pirates.
